On closer inspection it turns out that the icon is being drawn at the right size. It looks funny because the wrong variant has been selected: light icon on a light panel. status notifier does not seem to be able to select the correct variant.
** Description changed: To reproduce: - Install the package indicator-cpufreq - Open a terminal and run "indicator-cpufreq" + Open appearance settings. + Select a theme that makes panels a light colour. + Select an icon set designed for light panels. + Install the package indicator-cpufreq + Open a terminal and run "indicator-cpufreq" Result: - The indicator will appear in the legacy notification area and the - icon will be rendered at the correct size. + The indicator will appear in the legacy notification area and the + icon will be rendered with the correct colour. Now: - Open panel preferences and add a status notifier widget. + Open panel preferences and add a status notifier widget. Result: - The indicator should move from the notification area to the status - notifier area. But now it will be rendered too small, and the icon will - look blurred from the scaling. + The indicator should move from the notification area to the status + notifier area. But now it will be rendered as a light icon instead of a + dark variant. - This happens regardless of how the panel is sized and the widget - settings are set. See screenshot for a particularly obvious example. - - I assume this happens because cpufreq provides a bitmap icon. + This seems to happen because status notifier doesn't handle light/dark + variants.
